The one I bought is not on that list, #000771-810-000. I will probably be ordering the large on off of Amazon. I plan on hatching some Cream Legbars this year, so I'll need another one. Using Prime, you can't beat the free shipping!!I saw it in the Q&A on the Sunbeam website - per the company, models without auto shutoff include:
000731-500-000 000732-500-000 000756-500-000
I'd go 12 x 48....... I'm ordering 2 to make sure they'll have plenty of room as they grow. Not sure yet if I'll put them side by side longways or sideways (12" x 48" or 24" x 24"). Any thoughts or opinions on that? I'm thinking the pet playpen will be big enough either way.![]()
I read some of the reviews. Apparently, the pictures are just WRONG! According to the reviews, the unit does NOT shut off and is the LARGE 12" x 24" size. Since I've got 26 (FS) chicks coming, I'm ordering 2 to make sure they'll have plenty of room as they grow. Not sure yet if I'll put them side by side longways or sideways (12" x 48" or 24" x 24").

I would do separate frames for each pad.I think with the long thin cave would have less issues with chicks getting trapped in the center and overheating. You could use small dowels (maybe 3 in a row along the center) to help hold it up.

Yep, here's the deets: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/pseudo-brooder-heater-plate@aart. I had some questions for you regarding your heat pad brooder set up. Didn't you use a larger metal rack, sort of stainless steal shelving last year? If I remember you had them on wooden block risers...anyway, if I have confused you with someone else please forgive me. How did you like your set up? We have numerous shelves from a large stainless steel kitchen shelving unit that I am wanting to use for my MHP. What where the pro's/con's to the shelving unit and what would you do differently. Will you be using this system again this year? Inquiring minds want to know, thanks!![]()
